The InnoWEE Project has developed innovative materials from construction and demolition waste (CDW) for the manufacture of technologies that increase the energy efficiency of buildings.

It is a bilateral approach as use of a recycled product also addresses the reduction of energy demand in the construction sector. The talk will include the project's main achievements.

  • Obtaining raw materials from CDW: concrete, brick, glass and wood.
  • Manufacture of technologies for the insulation of façades (EIFS and ventilated cladding) and radiant systems.
  • Building energy simulation (BEM): assessment of InnoWEE innovative products applied to renovation.
  • High thermal performance and low environmental impact empirical results.
  • A competitive manufacturing and installation process.
  • New profitable and sustainable business opportunity.
  • Practical videos of the production chain of these geopolymer panels will be presented, showing the feasibility of products based in the circular economy.
